Our Women - Those Who Have No Place at the Table and No Tongue in Their Mouth

The women who speak for the book in your hands are women of the age generation who can be grandmothers of some of us, mothers of some of us and sisters of some of us. They do not have a special place in history. Instead, an expression such as "oppressed woman" is generally used.

The work “Our Women: Those Who Have a Place at the Table and No Tongue” opens that dark curtain in one place and lets the women behind them speak.

Fatma, Emine or Ayse women... In the period before modern urbanization or village-to-urban migration, they lived and lived like nameless, disembodied objects in the dominant environment of closed family economies dominated by rent and the corresponding feudal, semi-feudal, as well as patriarchal relations.

The ways, methods and tools that created the oppression of these women remained hidden within the spontaneous development process. Making their experiences specifically visible will be one of the most important functions of this book.
